We’ve all heard how people are increasingly turning to visual content as their primary source of information and entertainment. Well, the turn is complete. Visual content is not the future—it is now. And if your brand is not on board with that, then you’re in trouble.

There is a solution, though. Finding and creating shareable visual content for your brand is easier than you might think. At PR News’ recent Social Media Summit in San Francisco, Danny Olson, Director of Digital at Weber Shandwick, and Serena Ehrlich, Director, Social and Evolving Media at Business Wire, shared some tips for becoming a “visionary” communicator:
